Sigmund Freud

Freud's shorter writings, the ones that set out his working ideas most plainly, are collected in this Riverrun selection. The essays cover dreams, the unconscious, narcissism, love, paranoia and questions of clinical technique, presented in Joan Riviere's translation with an opening essay from Lisa Appignanesi. Read together they show how psychoanalytic theory was assembled piece by piece, and how readable Freud could be when he was arguing a case rather than defending a system. Details that matter: • Landmark essays selected instead of one long treatise • Translation by Joan Riviere throughout the collection • An introduction by Lisa Appignanesi setting the context • Subjects ranging from dream analysis to therapeutic method Issued in the Riverrun Editions series and suited to psychology students, therapists and readers of intellectual history, found at Boipoka.
